Alpha males are the top 20% of guys in the manosphere. They tend to be Pick-Up-Artists and mostly interested in short term "pump and dump" arrangements.

I'm red-billed MGTOW. I still date, but my personal dynamics and expectations of female behavior has changed considerably since I started down the rabbit hole.

Many MGTOWs consider MGTOW as a philosophy, such as an oriental martial art, Once you begin the journey, you will walk the path as you continue to gain knowledge, through experience. It is a philosophy for living, and personal growth.

Etiquette and Protocol are the “glues” that bind and build social behavior, within groups, cultures, and subcultures. WIthout etiquette and protocol, we would exist as a chaotic splintering of warring tribes and clans.

The French word étiquette, literally signifying a tag or label, was used in a modern sense in English around 1750. Etiquette is behaviour that assists survival and has changed and evolved over the years. In international Politics, protocol is the etiquette of diplomacy and affairs of state. It may also refer to an international agreement that supplements or amends a treaty.

A protocol is a rule which describes how an activity should be performed, especially in the field of diplomacy. In diplomatic services and governmental fields of endeavor protocols are often unwritten guidelines. Protocols specify the proper and generally accepted behavior in matters of state and diplomacy, such as showing appropriate respect to a head of state, ranking diplomats in chronological order of their accreditation at court, and so on.

Protocol is commonly described as a set of international courtesy rules. These well-established and time-honored rules have made it easier for nations and people to live and work together. Part of protocol has always been the acknowledgment of the hierarchical standing of all present.

“Protocol rules are based on the principles of civility.” - Dr. P.M. Forni on behalf of the International Association of Protocol Consultants and Officers. (Source: Wikipedia).

It is my privilege to introduce The Bro Code; A Guide to Etiquette and Protocol for the Modern Gentlemen. The original source of this document is unknown, although it is widely believed to have originated from the different clans of British Knights centuries ago, and has evolved and grown with time.

Please print copies of this list for your favorite Bros. Encourage discussion, both here and with your Bros.

Feminists, Hollywood, Media, Corporate America, The Left, and most Millennials have declared war on Masculinity and MGTOW. Keep your Bros close.
